After Purity

In After Purity, purity scholar Sara Moslener offers an in-depth examination of evangelical purity culture and its significant effects on gender, sexuality, race, and national identity in the United States. Through exclusive stories from her research in the After Purity Project, she highlights the experiences of women, particularly white women, raised in the evangelical church and the intertwining of white supremacy with notions of family and sexuality. Blending history, current research, and personal narratives, Moslener reveals the troubling impact of purity teachings and explores the broader implications of white evangelicalism's political power and socio-sexual debates.
